Never played the SNES version. Is there some dramatic difference, like with Toy Story?

>>9999251
I'd be optimistic and assume OP was talking about specific games that received ports for both systems rather than entirely different games based on the same IP, but then again he may have been layering in the already obvious 16-bit console wars bait towards that obligatory and neverending battleground, Aladdin.

any westerm multiplat is gonna be better on genesis

the overlap is interesting. the pce and genesis share a bunch of games, and the snes and genesis share a bunch of games. there aren't many games shared between the snes and pc engine, and few between all 3

I didn't grow up with a Genesis and just assumed the SNES versions were always superior, but the channel Console Wars really showed me some unique differences. Like I had no idea Captain America on the SNES was so bad compared to the Genesis version.

Only if your measurement of how good it is depends on how many playable characters it has or how close to the arcade version it is, both of which are fair. It's still a great game and like the other anon mentioned it is more challenging and has new content.

The show's concept is great. It's nice seeing an in depth look at all the little differences. A lot of times I never noticed them. But the schtick can get annoying. I'd much rather they just acted like normal people and argued for their side rather than try to be funny. I think as a show it got stuck between the earlier AVGN era where everyone was trying to mug for the camera and the modern informational era of MVG and Game Sack.

An argument could be made that Street Fighter II Special Championship Edition is better than Street Fighter II Turbo on SNES. Same for Super Street Fighter II. They don't look as nice but some people prefer the Genesis music to the SNES's instrumentation and the games play closer to the arcade.

Are you sure that is a good argument to make against the optional Mega CD, when the majority of SNES games needed cheating and expensive expansion chips in the cartridges to make up for the shoddy and slow 2.68 mhz CPU? That includes the Donkey Kong games by the way.

>Plays better
Nah. I'm 99999 times more into Sega than into Nintendo but MD Sunset Riders doesn't have much going for it. And it's not that it's harder either, the controls are just jankier.

That being said, unless you're really into Snes and original hardware, there's no reason to play that version in 2023. It's essentially just the arcade, but worse. At the very least, all the cutoffs turned the MD version into its own thing, different enough to have fun with after beating the arcade.

Anyway that's just Konami being incompetent fucks, you can tell they progressively got better with the hardware as time went by. An arcade accurate version of SS for Megadrive could have been perfectly possible.

The SNES is not called "Rocket Knight Adventures 2" like the Genesis one is. On that note, I don't know if the SNES one is supposed to be an alternate timeline or just a spin-off, but it seems that the Genesis one is supposed to be the canon sequel based on its (sub)title.
